Sample pieces 8+9

Here are two mdf pieces I created at college. I created these in order to get an idea on how to create a dyptic painting. I designed these pieces to match up and look good together with a slight gap in the middle of them both. I'm really happy with these pieces and they helped me get more confident with the presentation of a dyptic. These pieces then  helped me to go on and produce my final pieces. I also played Around positioning these pieces once dry in order to see how I should present them at my exhibition.

Sample piece 7

Here is another small square canvas I used that I found at my home. I tried to use gouache and acrylic on this one and dried it out using a heat gun which caused the piece to crackle which is what I wanted. I really like this piece and I love the wood and background showing through the rips in the canvas. I also feel that the red and black colour choice work really well.

Sample piece 6

This is a piece of old wood I found whilst taking my bins out at the flat. I decided to grab this as I thought the wood looked like a really good thing to paint on and I thought the shapes and elements to the piece looked really interesting. I decided to use gouache over an acrylic paint yellow underlayer which once dried I scratched into using a palette knife. This is my favourite sample I've created and I think it's due to the amount of colour and texture visible on the piece. The yellow and black are such a good combination and they contrast each other very well.

Sample piece 5

I created this piece whilst designing for my final piece. I decided to do this piece as I managed to get hold of another little canvas and I wanted to see how painting my design would look on canvas. I also wanted to practice simplifying my design sheets do I decided creating a simple canvas piece would help with that. This piece was created using acrylic paint, tissue paper, ink spray paint and oil pastels. The piece is inspired by the peeled paint, decay and rust I have been focusing on but in a very abstract way.

Sample piece 4

This sample piece was created on a piece of mdf board I found outside my flat. I decided to practice the gouache and peeling paint idea I tried out in sample 3 but on a wooden surface and with different colours. I used gouache and a heat gun again with this piece however it didn't seem to dry and crack aswell as the other. I'm not sure why this is. However I still really like the overall effect of the piece and I still think it fits in well with my other experiments. I also added gold to this piece to show a clear link in my sampling. 

Sample piece 3

This piece was created using a small square canvas I already had at home and wasn't using. I decided to use this canvas as an experimentation. I wanted to practice layering different coloured paint on top of one and other and then scraping that paint back off using a palette knife. I created this piece using gouache paint and a heat gun to crack it and dry it rapidly. I then scratched away at the top layer to reveal the undercoat of light blue. I used a craft knife to cut into the piece to give a worn out effect and to experiment with how the canvas would hold with bits missing.

Sample piece 2

Here is a piece I created using an old cupboard door I used out of my garage. I decided that painting on this would be really effective and would also fit very well with my theme as it's an item that if not used would have been sitting around for another few years. I love the idea of recycling things and finding a better use for them. I used acrylic paint on this piece along with spray paint and inks to add layers of different medias. I decided to stick to a blue and yellow colour scheme as I wanted to keep this piece simple and not to shy away from the Beauty of the medium I was painting on. I really love this piece as I think it's so interesting to look at! I found it amazing the way the wood peeled off so easily and it really was a pleasure to paint. With this piece I needed up adding splashes of gold leaf dotted around to add a luxurious element and make it more like a piece of artwork.

My prints

Here are my  prints I decided to create to give out during my exhibition. I decided to do this as I wanted to think of a way in which I could get my work noticed and seen by people who didn't just come to the opening night. I want people to take these prints home and put them on their fridges or in a little frame and their friends to see them. This is the way to get your work noticed and name known. I also wanted to give a little token of me to everyone who came to the opening night to show appreciation. These prints all got designed by me and scanned into a computer. I then printed them off on thicker card and signed every one. I used selephane bags to put them in and added my details on the back invade anyone needed  to contact me.

Sample canvas 1

Here is a piece of art I created whilst in my experimental/sample stage of the project. I created this piece using  an old recycled canvas I had previously painted on but because I wasn't too keen on the origional piece I thought the canvas could be put to better use. This also shows the recycle part of my project. This piece was created by firstly using a layer of tissue to cover the origional colour I painted  under the canvas. I then painted over this tissue using a white immulsion which turned out very well. It gave the piece a subtle and simple looking effect and the greens from the tissue paper and original colour underneath work really well peeping Through the gaps in the paint. I then used some gold leaf to add some shiny accents to the piece which I think made it really pop.

This week at college I have mainly tried to focus on getting as much done in my sketchbook as I possibly could. Kat and Victoria looked at my work and explained where I am at this point. They seemed very positive however my feedback wasn't good enough as I want a distinction and at the moment a few catogorys are letting me down. I decided to focus on the things which are letting me down which included annotation and also my project proposal. I started to edit my project proposal by changing my action plan which is the only unfinished part. I've not completely finished it this week but it's near enough complete. I have also worked on expanding my annotation throughout my sketchbook. I have done this as a lot of my work is annotated but it may possibly not be at the level I need. I've also started an artist research page in my sketchbook as some of my feedback was to look at a few more artists for inspiration.
I've started my final pieces this week and stretched my canvases. This has proved difficult because I origionally tried to stretch my canvas on my own and struggles to get it tight enough to the frame. This was due to me trying to pull the material and staple at the same time. The next day I asked someone for help with stretching it as it was simply a two man job.
I started to prime my canvases and when dry I painted them yellow. There was a problem with the painting and the yellow kept peeling away from my primed canvas. This made me panick however I soon decided I was going to make this part of my work instead of painting over it! I did this to save time and also because It actually looked extreamly cool. I think the paint peeled off the canvas due to it only just being primed. The canvas was so smooth I don't think the acrylic had enough to grip onto.

05/05

Today I've started to create two MDF pieces of art to play around with the concept for my final piece. I decided to create these two pieces using similar colours i would like to use for my main piece which included yellows, pinks , blues and blacks. I will change my colours slightly for my main pieces however. I decided to do these pieces because i needed to have an idea of what two main pieces would look like together and how easily i could make the pieces look as though they followed eachother. I also wanted to look at the shapes of the pieces because my final pieces will be 100cmx100xcm square canvases and the mdf pieces are rectangle. I just wanted to play around with shape a bit. For these pieces i used crackle pastes, paint, tissue, spray paint and oil pastels. I want to use all of these techniques for my final pieces because the mixed mediums work extremely well. I encountered a few problems with these pieces however as i couldn't seem to get the backgrounds a block yellow this meant i had to apply 3 layers of the paint. However i think this will be different with my canvas as its white and on material not wood. Brad told me that the mdf soaks up paint really quickly which is probably why my pieces appeared patchy at first.
Today i also played around with positioning my two MDF pieces in different ways to see what looked best. I tried side by side but in different ways, Horizontal and vertical but also different sides of the pieces. Evidence of this is in my sketchbook.

02/05

Today at college i decided to concentrate on creating my creative business cards. I originally planned to create a book mark which included my details on the back and my art on the front. I printed one of my design sheets on thicker paper and started trimming them into strips. This suddenly gave me the idea to create wrist bands like the ones people receive at festivals. I really liked this idea so decided to try getting my design sheet put onto magic touch paper at reprographics. I then used the magic touch heat press machine on a piece of calico which is a wax based material. I cut this into strips the way i cut the bookmarks and they looked exactly as i had hoped. However, I was unsure as to how to get my details onto the bands correctly and easily and then i decided if i got my details on the magic touch paper just like my design i could heat press it on to the other side of my bands. Overall i was really happy with the outcome of my bands and i really loved all the positive feedback i gained off all my peers. I think my idea is unique and will look very cool at my exhibition.

27/04

Today I spoke to my fine arts teacher Claire about how I will be presenting my final piece. I've been unsure as to weather I wanted to create one final piece or two, or even more. After speaking to my peers many said they think my work would look better as two pieces together and after talking to Claire about my worries and ideas she agreed that two pieces would be cool. We decided that I could look at creating two separate canvases but using them to create one piece of art. This will mean I can create a crazy canvas full of my ideas and then a more simple one and they will still compliment each other perfectly. Next week I'm going to draw up some plans and decide what I'm wanting on each canvas along with sizings and colours.. I also hope to look at artist Clifford still as his work reminds me a lot of the stuff I'm doing and really makes me think about peeling paint.

26/04

Today I started creating a piece on mdf. I did this because I wanted to clear my mind from all my sketchbook and design work and simply work on some experimenting. As the yellow turquoise and pink colours seem to be more popular with my class mates I decided to follow this through with my mdf painting. I want to make my paintings look abstract but still link with and show my theme throughout. I did this by using crackle paint and spray paint along with lots of other mediums I've been experimenting with to create a textual piece that represents both peeled paint and graffiti in a really cool way. I hope tomorrow to create another piece on the second mdf board I have that will fit well with the piece I've completed today

25/04

Today was our first day back at college since the Easter holidays. I have come back with a positive attitude but still some concerns about where my project is going. I started the day off by showing kat where I was at with my work and what I had produced through the holiday. I also decided to ask a lot of my class for their opinions on my work as I was confused as to wether to simplify some of my designs. I started another design sheet to try and clear my head and decided on what I wanted to do. This didn't really help as I am torn between making my design more simpler and appealing to a customer or making it completely crazy which naturally comes to me. Tomorrow I am going to work on deciding on how I want my final piece to look and how many pieces I'm hoping to create.

29/03

Today I started to paint on some more found items which included a wooden board I found outside my flat and a piece of mdf. I did these using gouache and drying and re painting over them several times. I then used a palette knife to peel parts of the paint away. I also created a piece on canvas using tissue paper underneath to create a cracked looking effect. This went really well however it was harder to peel paint away. I've also experimented using gold leaf today on the paintings I've created. The gold leaf has made the paintings look loads cooler and more fancy.

28/03

Today I started and finished my first design sheet. I created this on cardboard and wanted to incorporate a lot of the research i have been looking at throughout my sketchbook such as peeled paint, rusting, decay, litter and graffiti. I'm happy with the outcome of this sheet. Today I have also started to paint on some tin cans I found on my travels. I've done this as it links with my litter element of the project but I also wanted to see what different effects I could get on the metal. I have also played around today using alcohol based inks and rubbing alcohol to create small samples in my sketchbook mimicking rust.

22/03

Today I started a piece on some wood I found near my bin. This piece of wood was part of an old cupboard and I thought it would be really interesting to work on top of. I decided to create an effect on the wood that made it look like paint was chipping off. This was really cool to do and I created this using gouache paint as it gets very dry and is prone to cracking. I put a lighter colour underneath then covered that in the darker black which meant the lighter colour would show through all the cracks formed with the heat gun. I then worked into the piece using sand paper to make the wood look more aged and as if it was something that had naturally just cracked and weathered instead of a painting. I'm really happy with the outcome overall.

21/03

Today I have worked on creating some samples on small pieces of mdf. I've created these tiny experimental pieces based on peeling paint. I've created 5 different pieces using different mediums
 The first piece I created was using multiple layers of gouache. I dried the layers straight away using a heat gun to form cracks on the surface the underlying colour then showed through the cracks.
The second piece I used pva glue mixed with ink. This meant that the layer of colour one dried could be easily peeled and played around with.
Thirdly I did a piece using a layer of paper and painting over that with acrylic I then ripped the paper to show the underlying colour.
Fourth I decided to experiment using the puff binder. I then covered the layer of puff binder in oil pastel to add another colour.
Finally I just created a piece using acrylic paint layered with oil pastel.
I then decided to quiz my classmates on their favourite experimental piece and also the piece they thought resembled peeled paint the most. Most voted for the layered gouache piece.
The least favourite was the puff binder piece.
Today I also experimented in my sketchbook using puff binder. I used it on material, wood, cardboard and paper. Both coloured and plain puff binder was used.

16/03

Today I've worked In my sketchbook mostly. I have created a page in my sketchbook on road signs and also a page with primary research on road signs.
Also today I have painted on a piece of old wood I found near a skip and I've created a piece. I've used acrylic paint but also I've used pva glue to create a peeling effect. I've used crackle paste and oil pastels too. I like the piece I've created but I'm not 100% happy with it. Next week I'm going to re work into it. Today I have also completed a sheet in my sketchbook on rust dying. I decided to rust dye fabric and put them in my sketchbook. I've also added a rating system to explain my favourite pieces of dyed fabric and why. I'm happy with this page.

15/03

Today I have started another artist research sheet as after asking my
Peers a few where going to do more than 2 and I wanted to do that as well to ensure my project is at the level I'm happy with. I decided to do this sheet on artist carol nelson. I have looked at carol nelson a few times before at College and I decided that her art work would be really interesting to look at. I really love the way she encorporates rust and deccay to her work and the beautiful colours that she achieves. I created this artist sheet using inks, acrylic paint, oil pastels and pen.
Overall I am really happy with the outcome of my sheet and I think it looks really interesting.

14/3

Today I have started to create an artist research sheet on gerhard richter. I decided to do a sheet on him because I really love his work and I think that the sheet would look really cool next to my work in my exhibition. I created the piece using acrylic paint and a palette knife. I am really happy with the outcome of this piece however I don't think I matched the piece I was looking at really well. This is because it was hard to blend the 100% correct colours so a lot of the colours where slightly off. I'm still happy with the piece and think the colours compliment my 'rusty' project very well. Today I also created a page in my sketchbook on the research I collected whilst in York. I stuck all the images down however I had too many pictures so I created a little pouch for more of my images to fit into.

9/03

Today I created my first artist research page. The artist I looked at is Heather day who is an American artist I first discovered through Instagram. Her work doesn't link with the rust, deccay aspect I'm looking at however she uses some spray paints on her work which remind me a lot of the graffiti I see around Barnsley.
I created the artist sheet with her work in mind but not copying any of it exactly. I also used the materials I felt comfortable with and in the ways which I felt most appropriate. I am really happy with the outcome of my artist sheet as it's bright and colourful and I would be happy to display this along side my work in my final exhibition. Today I also started a new mind map as I wasn't happy with my original especially after the peer assessments yesterday. The new mind map includes a nicer looking background which relates more to my theme it also includes much more information about my hopes for the project including artists, gallery I hope to visit and experiments I hope to do.

8/03

Today I carried on with sketchbook work mostly, I created 2 pages in my sketchbook based on the graffiti I photographed on my travels. I wanted to look at graffiti as I feel the different shapes and marks have a resemblance to my style of art work. I also think it will be great to look at due to the colours and different drips.
Today we also started to do some peer assessing of each others mind maps. After this activity I started to feel very worried as I didn't feel that my mind map was detailed enough to reach a distinction standard. I was really happy with the feedback I got from all my peers though. They suggested some really interesting ideas which included gathering rubbings from different buildings around Barnsley and adding them to my sketchbook and also gathering bits of Bark, metal and rust and adding that into my sketchbook.
Me and my teacher kat also decided that creating my own rust would be a really cool idea and another good element to my sketchbook.
Tomorrow I hope to start an artist sheet on Heather day.

7/03

Today at college I decided to focus on some sketchbook work as I haven't felt inspired to do much lately. I decided to start off with something simple. I created a painting in my sketchbook inspired by some of the images I had taken whilst on my travels. This meant me creating realistic rust colours and applying them to a textured background. I also used crackle paste and several layers of paper to mimic peeling paint. Another idea I had was to get some buttons and paint over them to look like rust bolts on my page. This idea actually worked really well and I think the painting looked extremely realistic. Another thing I did today was a few artist research pages on Gerhard richter. I decided to create an artist study on one side on my sketchbook and on the other look at and evaluate his work. I decided to look at his work as I feel his style and colours resemble the rust and decaying I'm focusing on. His colour palettes are very similar to the ones I'm looking at using but he has also been a favourite of mine for many years now.

6/03

Today I went on a walk around Barnsley town to gather primary research. I wanted to do this as I felt I hadn't been working from enough of my own pictures and I wanted a good set of photographs for my sketchbook. I managed to get a range of good images that I am very proud of. My partner showed me this abandoned building that had set on fire years ago. This building couldn't be torn down as it was listed! This has meant that the building as well as been damaged has slowly stated to decay and get old it has also been vandalised and covered with litter. Although this seems like a horrible place it was actually a perfect place for my primary research. The building was full of rust and metal, things falling apart! There was tonnes of peeling paint, graffiti and litter too. I managed to get some really good quality images that I can work with.
As well as the abandoned building I also just looked around Barnsley town centre, I looked at all the graffiti dotted around and all the rusting up the small alleys and streets. I looked also at the peeling paint on the old doors around Barnsley. I managed to get a few good shots of litter too.
Tomorrow at College I will print all these out and start working off them.

2/03

Today I finished my mood board. I'm really happy with the quality of it and I think it's at the level I need it to be. My mood board includes lots of different textures and incorporates all the elements I hope to look at ranging from wood to paint to rust to litter. I think my board shows a clear direction in which I am going and I feel i would be happy to have it displayed in my exhibition. I have also started a few observational drawings/paintings in my sketchbook to try and get into the pattern of working in it again. Throughout these weeks I have also been keeping a time management journal explaining all that I aim to do and all that I have done in that week.

1/03

I've started researching on Pinterest for my new project idea. I managed to collect a good set of images around Barnsley centre and I have printed them out to stay inspired! My mind map is complete but it's too rough for my liking! I want to refine it and add more detail to ensure it's at the level I'm satisfied with. Today I've also started ideas for my mind map, I haven't fully started it yet but I have sketched out a basic plan for it. I wanted to do a mind map because I felt extremely stressed about doing work in my sketchbook and just couldn't get into the swing of things. I decided to do the mind map on paper as I felt I could be more free and experiment with different textures and ideas on a stretched board.

28/02

Today I've had one of the worst days in college so far. I've decided to change my idea. The mental health path I decided to take ended up being too much for me to deal with. I've decided to change my idea and look at decaying and rotting. I am also going to be looking at things like graffiti and different recycled materials. Ive been inspired with this idea by looking around town and because of my upcoming visit to York where I feel I will be able to get really good quality primary research.
I'm really exited to start my new idea even though I'm behind it's the best thing for me at this moment.
I've started today by going on a walk and taking pictures around town of rust and decay, also of any graffiti or paint splats I've seen. I have also started a mind map in my sketchbook to jot down all my ideas. I've done this to try and relax my mind and put me at ease with this new project.

20/02

Today I have created a sketchbook page on artist Francis bacon. Francis bacon suffered with mental health problems throughout his career and I think his paintings show that. His expressive brush strokes and dark senses of colour show how he clearly struggled and had troubles.
I created an artist study on his piece 'george d on a bicycle' I did this because I thought it was one of his more detailed pieces and I really liked the use of the brush strokes and colours init. I like how his pieces almost look like they have smudged or as if they are moving.
Tommorow I hope to complete this page with annotation and start some pieces on canvas inspired by my moods.

16/02

Today I started by printing my final proposal and handing it into kat for the final read over.
I also started to create a mark making page. On this page I drew squares and used different mark making techniques that came to my mind. I didn't have any plans I just went with the idea which I think is a good thing as the whole idea of my project is to paint with what's inside me.
I'm fairly happy with the page I just think it needs some more annotation. I wrote on the page how the certain marks made me feel.
I also started a page on my visit to York art gallery last year. I know it was a while ago but I saw some beautiful artwork that include a range of marks and emotions as well as some mixed medium pieces.
Tomorrow I will be working but when I get home I am going to try and think of some mood board ideas as that was what I was struggling with today.

15/02

Today I pretty much finished my proposal. This meant me Harvard referencing books for my bibliography and writing the end part of my proposal as well as editing bits that needed changing. Because I was feeling quite stressed I decided to do the first of my small paintings. I will be producing two small paintings a week and hopefully at the end of the project these paintings will come together to show the change in my emotions throughout the project.
I was feeling angry and stressed so I feel the small painting I did could show this.
I'm happy with the painting I think it works well and shows how I was feeling at the time.
Tomorrow I hope to start a page on mark making and also gather some more books for research.

14/02

Today I finished my page on Georgia okeeffe in my sketchbook. I added Images of her artwork which I found inspiring. I got these images from a book. I also had to do a presentation for my mother and child project so the first part of the day I couldn't do much. Towards the end of the day I carried on with my project proposal. I'm finding my project proposal difficult and stressful as I know I want it to be at a distinction standard. This means I keep tweeting it and editing it until it's at that level.
Tomorrow I will hopefully finish my project proposal.

12/02

Today I started researching artist Georgia O'Keeffe. I decided to look into her art work as she is an artist who suffered major mental health problems throughout her career and she used her art as a way out.
I find her work really interesting too, I feel that her work defiantly shows emotion.
I started to create an artist research page in my sketchbook as I wanted to write more about her and her circumstances.
I created artist studies on two of her pieces 'Light Iris' and 'Lily turned away'.
I chose these pieces as I love the subtlety of them also her piece light iris has more of an abstract feel.
I created these pieces using water colours both in tubes and pans. I really enjoyed painting these pieces and I am very happy with this sketchbook pages so far.
Her work  is very beautiful and moving so it was very easy to connect with her paintings.
Next I will be annotating this page and possibly adding more studies or some photographs of o'keeffe's original pieces.

FMP

Today we got given our FMP Brief.

This was really exiting for me as I had so many ideas floating around in my head and today I could finally start deciding.

Kat gave us a massive power point and talked us through all the constraints and possibilities to this years FMP. The only constraints where as followed:  

No Disney, No tattoo design, Nothing that primary research couldn't be done for and also nothing we didn't feel fully passionate or committed about.

As an abstract artist I knew straight away that the theme I wanted to chose would be done in an abstract way. Abstract expressionism has been a massive inspiration for me since I can remember and this is why I'm wanting to go down the expression route.

Mental health is also a massive issue in my family and I suffer with it myself so I wanted to incorporate mental illness into my project. I decided on possibly going down the route of emotion and expression as the link between creative people and mental illness is very strong. 

I think this will be really interesting to look at and I feel I can produce some really good primary research and experiment a lot with my ideas. I also feel like my idea isn't too restricting and I still have freedom to explore within my theme. I am hoping to look at a range of different artists including artists who have suffered with mental health issues themselves such as Van Gogh and Jackson pollock. I also want to look at exhibitions on near me and see what inspiration and research I can gather from them. 

Overall I'm really exited to start this project and tonight I have started drafting my project proposal explaining my plans for the project and where I want to end up. I'm also in the middle of creating a mind map in my sketchbook of all the possible avenues I could go down for this project.

My next job will be to finish my mind map and get my first project proposal draft up to a distinction standard. 

Albert Irvin

Today Albert Irvin is another artist I've looked at. His work is very child like but so bright and funky he uses thick lines bold colours and wacky shapes to creAte his pieces. They are so appealing to look At and I think this is due to the use of colours throughout his pieces. I was thinking that this type of work would probably appeal a lot to children as well and it's extremely exiting and fun looking.

Sarah Boyts

Today I have looked at an artist named Sarah boyts. Her work is very unusual and she uses materials such as papers and cards to create pieces and shapes. Her work is amazing and could be seen to some people as quite childish. I have created some pieces based on her work and it looks a lot easier than it is to do. I really admire how bold she is with her shapes and colours. I think more artists should be this fearless.

Tom Abbis smith

I've researched a lot using Pinterest trying to find artists that I find inspiring for the route I'm wanting to go down. I've looked today at an artist called tom Abbiss smith and I have created a sheet in my sketchbook based on his work. He created pieces using a vary of shapes and colours and his brush strokes and ways of working are very unique and naive looking.

Naive art

After visiting the exhibition I have had new ideas and new artists in mind to look at. As I said in my last post I think that the work was very simple and naive looking which is another route I want to go down. I have looked at many artists who use simple form and shapes along with block colours to create eye catching abstract pieces which truly amaze me. I have decided to possibly go down this avenue and simplifying key shapes in the birthing process along with colours that link with emotions to create a naive looking piece that's also really effective.

The Civic exhibition.

Today I visited the Sam shendi mother and child exhibition at the civic gallery in Barnsley. This visit was part of our project as we're working closely with this exhibition. I really didn't have high expectations of these sculptures through seeing them in photographs but when I finally saw them in the flesh I completely changed my mind. The colours where so bright and all the pieces spoke out to me and told a different story. Colour psychology is a massive part of these pieces which really appealed to me and the pathway I'm wanting to go down. Looking at the sculptures I could see a sort of nativity in them with the simplicity and block colours. I really loved this exhibition and it gave me so many new ideas to work off

Bright coloured artists

I've been looking at lots of artists who use bright colours in there work. I've mostly been finding these artists on Pinterest however I have also looked at piccolos rose and blue periods as they are key examples of expressing emotions through colours in art

Symbolism

Now I've decided to look also at symbols and simplifying objects that link closely with mothers and children and also the birthing process, I've been looking at objects like eggs, sperm and umbilical cords and simplifying them into shapes that are much plainer and less detailed.

colours

So at this point I have only been researching colour theory, I've decided to look closely at colours and the emotions they show as I feel that's a massive part of art that is often overlooked. I want to look closer at earthy colours to show growth and naturalistic vibes and also greens that demonstrate fertility and also growth
